<![CDATA[Arrival at Castle Anthrax]]>Melisandrinoff, welcome to your new home.

Allow me to take you on a guided tour. We'll start with the basement.

This is where I store those who do not acknowledge my rule. You'll notice the many bones around. That nest in the corner is where Nibbler lives, he does like barbecued meat.

The Great Hall is simply where my front door is and some stairs leading up. To the right is the Reception room and the Disco room.

To the left are the Kitchens and the Dining Room.

The second floor contains several of my more specialist rooms. Over there is Motley's padded cell, he spends a lot of time there. Next door is Skarkill's room, I really don't want to know what he gets up to in there.

Opposite is errrrr.....my special room. Don't go in there, It's for private things. That door leads to the smoking room, It contains my electric chair. There is the door to nowhere, I wouldn't go in there, my last girlfriend did, never seen again.

The third floor houses my immense bedroom and several smaller Guestrooms. Feel free to explore them all.

Finally, this is the tower. It's where we shall run our evil Empire from. Notice the mirror. It allows me to see any part of the Dungeon I wish.

Now, let me show you back to my bedroom. You might like to inspect and try out the bed, It's far more comfortable with two people

Right, That should do it. Nice long one to celebrate my 50th post.

And it's ok, I can understand you getting drunk with Skarkill, he does have a strangely compelling je-ne-sais-quoi about him...hmmm...I am slightly worried about mysef now

And thank you Motely for your kind welcome...and for our very own cyber-castle which I am attempting to join right now...

Meli, Mel, Mal, Ml, Lem, Mei, Meli

At least we had a good idea of who it was didn't we?

Greetings to you my fair queen...

I......apologise for being drunk but Skarkill was the only one around the castle at the time.

Now we have zzt and Motley taking an active interest again I have no need to spend ALL my time with Skarkill.

Right, now as for this vision I have seen....if it is not you my love then who is it? Could it perhaps have been a trap to lure me into the parlour of the Spider?

Hmmmm. We must all be careful, someone seems to be trying to take me out!

"Wait, wait, wait... what the heck just happened? First it's implied to me that this Mistress Melissandrinoff is in a life-threatening situation... and then she suddenly appears right here?"

zzt scratches his head.

"Hmm... Well, at least the situation got resolved, so I suppose that's one less giant spider we have to face."

And found it so fascinating I had to stay for a few days! Indeed, I had to drag myself away...you shouldn't have told me not to go in, that caused it to seem so irresistible to me that I just had to...oh, the things I now know about you! But don't worry, I won't tell any of our minions...

Speaking of which, what on earth do you mean by getting drunk with Skarkill??!! I knew this would happen, one brief declaration of adoration, and then you're off getting p***ed with your mates - I'm warning you that if I am to become your betrothed, I expect better behaviour - and why you'd want to spend any more time than is strictly necessary with Skarkill is entirely beyond me, but anyway...don't let it happen again! Now we've got our first lovers quarrel out of the way, how do you fancy joining me in the disco room?

"Hellou! Anyone there?"

"Lets see what position I am on the chart of Top 100 Villians of the Century" said LF

"LOVELY" He said mocking Skarkill's voice "No 1 for the 10 Century running.

Ariadne's lair! Cripes! If someone doesn't rescue your lady, the overgrown spider's gonna chomp her!"

zzt pauses

"...Let me guess, you're going to send us in, aren't you?"

"Cor Stone Me yer Semtexship."

"What on earth has happend to the mistress?"

You've yet to meet her, she's been missing for a while now.

Do you recognise that place zzt?

]]>https://www.knightmare.com/forum/post/22562https://www.knightmare.com/forum/post/22562Tue, 04 May 2004 03:08:10 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Arrival at Castle Anthrax on Tue, 04 May 2004 02:56:56 GMT]]>zzt dashes into the room, a small draft following him. He skids to a halt near SJ.

"You called, boss? I already set the food out for the dragon and that hobgoblin and..."

zzt looks into the mirror

"Huh... what happened to her?"

zzt turns back to SJ.

"Who exactly is that that you're observing in the mirror, and what the heck happened to her?"

SJ strides off towards his tower passing zzt who was dragging a sack, SJ ignores him and moves purposefully off into his tower

Now then mirror, Let's see what is going on.

Jack gazes into the mirror. A vision of a beautiful (giggles) woman is being displayed. She looks to be in some pain and appears to be trapped somewhere...

Melisandrinoff!

She is caught in thick white, sticky strands. A look of sheer horror appears on her face

Skarkill, zzt, Motley.....Anyone. Get in here NOW!!!!!

]]>https://www.knightmare.com/forum/post/22559https://www.knightmare.com/forum/post/22559Tue, 04 May 2004 02:43:18 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Arrival at Castle Anthrax on Tue, 04 May 2004 02:35:19 GMT]]>zzt heads out and up to one of the guest rooms. The first one he finds has quite a mess in one of the corners, presumably what used to be the dungeoneer that SJ was talking about.

"Wow, looks like that one went painfully."

zzt snickers, and looks around, finding a sack nearby.

"Hmm, I suppose I could carry the carcass in that thing."

zzt stuffs the dungeoneer's remains into the sack, and carries the whole thing down to the basement

Are you still here? I've been out counting crates of raw chicken for half an hour. Shame on you!!!!

Avoid Skarkill's room. It's the one with the screams coming from it. Also, the 2nd floor room at the top of the stairs, that is errrrrr.....my private room for special things.

I believe there is what remains of the other night's Dungeoneer in a corner in on of the Guest rooms. Be a good fella and feed Tiny and Nibbler for me. Cheers bud.

And so our group grows even further. zzt, Motley, Skarkill, Melisandrinoff and myself. A few more additions and we will be ready to challenge Lord Fear.

I suppose I could look around the castle a bit for now... maybe figure out where I'm staying..."

zzt pauses

"...that is, if I have permission to look around."
